Kodansha Comics (2017), Edition: Anniversary, 2532 pages
Description
In 1982, Kodansha published the first chapter of Akira, a dystopian saga set in Neo-Tokyo, a city recovering from thermonuclear attack where the streets have been ceded to motorcycle gangs and the rich and powerful run dangerous experiments on destructive, supernatural powers that they cannot control. Today, it remains a touchstone for artists, writers, filmmakers, and fans, retaining all the brutal impact and narrative intensity it had when Otomo first unleashed it onto the world, and is presented here in six beautiful hardcover volumes.

Outrageously brilliant, comprehensive edition for one of the most celebrated manga/anime. Hardcovered, printed on timeless pages, in English, but Japanese orientation with an art book - these are a delight to re-read time and time again.
